Treasure
the natural beauty
Mae
La Maharachanuson Park
is a fish conservation and breeding project in Mae La,
a
major river of Sing Buri with abundant food resources
for fish. Fish caught here are therefore bigger and fresh,
especially..pla chon..which is the province's recommended
dish and souvenir. But with the fish numbers dwindling,
this project was initiated to preserve the breed as well
as to commemorate His Majesty the King's 60th anniversary.
The park is 9 km away from Muang district, on Highway
